So they went at once to the place
where Ben boarded, a dreary house,
with innumerabIe small, ill-ventilated
rooms, where for the entire sum that he
earned weekly Ben Connover was per-
mitted to lodge.
The doctor had made his hospital
rounds that night and his last call was
on Ben. He was young physician,
and very Jealous over his patients. He
took an interest in the handsome,
whole-souled country boy who was un-
accustomed to close rooms and sewer
gas and lonely hours, and so wrote
that letter to his mother.
And as they stood on the step ring
ing the grumbling bell he walked up
and soon discovered who they were,
and made himself known.
"Oh, Doctor, is there any hopee
doctor, a0jU my boy get we'll?
doctor, IS he still aliveP"
These were the questions that were
poured into the doctors ears.
How very unfceling of him to laugh!
''Why, there is nothing in this world
the matter with him! AS l wrote you
it's only bad case of nostalgia. )"
"DOctOrr' said the father sternly,
"put that ere word in plain English!'
"Oh, 1 see." laughed the doctor.
at is the medical term for hOnesicb-
ness"
And that was all that allied the boy.
A good deal of mental longing and
worry had brought on fever, and Ben
was fast becoming really i'll, but the SYM
pathetic young doctor had diagnosed
his case correctly. He was a soldier
who was not sick from any fatal mall
ady. He was homesick.
Now that we're here Wen stay and
see the sights, Sary Ann" Mr.. Con-
mover said to his wife, land you can
coddle Ben all you want to-"
And Ben was very willing to be cod
died. But it was strange that after ex-
planning that big medical word, the
doctor still kept coming. 1t worried
the old couple a little, because they
thought Ben must be in danger after
all.

danger now. He had transferred his
interest in the brother to the sister
And no word was big enough to dag
nose his case.
But it all came out right. Only Ben
must have tonics and directions, and
ut last the doctor went out there and
established practice, leaving out the
Latin words.
And he was right. There is no more
insidious disease than homesickness.
When the Swiss soldiers-the bravest
fighters in the world-hear the familiar
RAM des baches they lean on their car
bines and weep for their loved glaciers
and mountain pines, and often die of
that hidden wound of the heart-whose
classical name is nostalgia, and which
freely translated means sickness for
home. '-DetroU Free Press"

An Effort at OrthOgraPhicaI Consistency
Young Colin chants a mournful lay,
While guiding Of his plough,
And not far of, beneath the hedge,
A damsel milks her cough.

'''Tis MOllie, sure enough.
needn't from so sweet a girl
Expect a rude rebough."
Across the field he stOutly plods,
Nor looks to left or right
Shy Molly fushes like he rose,
And then her cheek grows Wright.
''Dear lass - says he, in accents low,
Among your other beaux
You have not one as fond and true
As Colin, goodness kneaux!
80, though you t'other day refused,
To heed a suitor's sigh,
ask once mOre-Wiu you be mlne?-
The bride for whom I'd digh?''
Persistent wOoing wins maid
Her heart grew soft as dough;
And soon a whispered Yes replaced
Fair Mollys former ''Nough.''

A Challenge.

Hon. Barnett Gibbs challenges Rev.
II. II. Hanks to discuss the prohibition
question as follows: ''Do the old and

tree, that Mr.. Gibbs strongly opposed
the Juggling in of the Bible into this
canvass as the question was wholly n
constitutional and statutory one in
volvipg the individual rights of the
citizens, and that the Bible, preachers
and "short haired women and long
haired men" had nothing to do with
it, but then Barney has a way of
